Hampstead Garden Suburb
Homes in Hampstead Garden Suburb are covered by a scheme of management run by the Hampstead Garden Suburb Trust, and the suburb is also a conservation area. External changes such as new doors normally need the Trust's consent, so check with the Trust before booking a door or wall flap.
Flats and family homes
In converted houses and purpose-built blocks, leases and fire doors are the main considerations. In houses, a flap in a uPVC or timber back door, or through a cavity wall in interwar homes, is usually straightforward.

Questions from homeowners in Barnet
Do I need consent in Hampstead Garden Suburb?
Usually, yes. The Trust's consent is normally needed for external alterations. Ask them first.
I own a leasehold flat. What do I need to check?
Your lease, which usually needs the freeholder's written consent for changes to doors, windows or walls. A flat's front door in a shared building is a fire door and can't take a flap.
